The greenhouse was, indeed, purchased - by someone from the Bucks County Orchid Society - and he promptly removed the equipment: benches, heater, RO system, tank, metering pump, delivery pump, and fans, then came back a few days later and disassembled and hauled away the structure.

Finally Met My Commitment to the Fund]]>15One more chance for Paph. HoughtoniaeSat, 30 Jul 2016 22:06:49 +0000https://www.slippertalk.com/threads/one-more-chance-for-paph-houghtoniae.41105/
https://www.slippertalk.com/threads/one-more-chance-for-paph-houghtoniae.41105/invalid@example.com (Heather)Heather So, I'm going to go ahead and re-list this with no reserve and give it a chance for a couple days to see if we have any additional interest.

This is Paph. Houghtoniae (haynaldianum ‘New World' x rothschildianum ‘Giant Wings’ GM/WOC) Remade this oldie but goodie primary hybrid with much superior parents! We expect some award winners here. Good price due to good germination! Ready to...

Donating If you have something to donate, please send me an email detailing your donation. I always send out my email address in the annual solicitation that I send. You can send a PM but it is easiest if I have everything in one place when it is time to list the items. In your email, please let me know what you are donating - all details included. If there is reserve, or minimum bid, please let me know what it is. If there are multiple plants, please also include...

Please remember that if you are the winning bidder and pay through the forum to paypal to include a shipping address and to let me know that the payment is for an auction - which one it is for, and which plant(s) you won.

That way, I can let the person who offered the plants know to whom he is shipping and what.

I still have some other donations coming in and I need to make sure that the auction ones are clearly distinguished from any other regular donation.

Thanks...

I got this last year, donated by Dot. This poor guy got off to a bad start, package got lost, then with the heat wave, I gave it up for being one step from the grave, threw it in a spare pot on my potting bench in the shade & forgot about it. Fall came around & time to repot, found it & to my surprised it looked pretty good so I mounted it and it's been really happy since!

Also, timing needs to be a little flexible as we need to be mindful of the schedules of those of us running the auction.
That said - anyone who wants to help this year, please...

Last year during the auction, we discussed new ending times for the weekly bidding. I thought I would post a poll to see what we want to decide on for 2014. Please vote and add additional comments below. Thanks for your input!]]>52013 fall auctionWed, 09 Oct 2013 02:45:55 +0000https://www.slippertalk.com/threads/2013-fall-auction.31481/

If you've already sent payment, it has been received. Will go through one item at a time in case there is any confusion.

Thank you all!!

(BTW, the bills are paid, just trying to figure out how/who/when we are going to upgrade this thing! If we have vBulletin do it for us the whole shebang will be about $500, which we have to spare thanks to all...

Therefore, I think we should continue through tonight at 11:30PM Central. That's 10:30PM Pacific. GMT is 11:30PM - 6 hours.

I will be deleting the posts I have made announcing winners.

Thanks so much Rose for all of your help! I know last year it was tricky to find all of the threads when I was notifying of payment received so I think having all the current auction items in the sub forum should make it a bit easier.

Thanks to all of our early bidders and donors too! ]]>1ST Auction guidelinesThu, 12 Apr 2012 00:13:25 +0000https://www.slippertalk.com/threads/st-auction-guidelines.25170/

The bidding process has begun, pretty much like ebay, post a bid if the plant is of interest to you! Only ST members can bid.

Donating a plant? Please be my proof reader when I post plants each week & let me know if I need to make any corrections. I pretty much try to copy & paste so hopefully it's correct. You have the choice to include shipping or have the winning bidder cover it, it...
